SAVE A LIFE Maureen Dowd writes in the NYT this week about the importance of being an organ donor. You can literally save the life of one of 100,000 people waiting for vital organs in North America alone. It costs you nothing except the time to fill out an organ donor card. If you're American, click on this link, download the card, complete it following the instructions, and talk it over with your family (they can overrule your donation if you don't). If you're Canadian, get the applicable provincial organ donor card here. And if you've already filled out a card, take the next opportunity to make a blood donation. Another great need you can fill, for free. 10:51:24 AM  trackback []  comment []

THE WORDS & PICTURES OF HUGH MACLEOD I've always admired artists who can sketch something clever in a few moments over a beer. It's rare to find such an artist who also has a way with words. The combo is called a cartoonist, and one cartoonist that I admire greatly is Hugh MacLeod of Gaping Void, who creates by doodling on the back of business cards. His work, samples of which are shown above and below, is gritty, smart, and blazingly cynical, but it always brings a smile. And we need more of those these days. 10:49:22 AM  trackback []  comment []
